far too common really, even if not the majority of officers.
also, it has the appearance of being less of a problem than it really is because they are so good at covering it up. and lets face it, nobody listens seriously to a "suspect" complain about cops. and the cops rely on that.

your right to pathetic employment situations does not trump everyone elses right to worship or to enjoy what they paid good money for.
when you do post a job opening as an agency, dont spend a full screen of text advertising the standard boiler template about how great an agency you are and, oh, look at our 150x300 pixel logo! *then* followed by a two line, near zero information, job posting.

cringley may be right about the box/concept, but perhaps got the 5000 cpu number wrong. could be fewer. also, could be laptop style opteron processors which consume less electricity and create less heat. in fact, just for shear bulk reasons, laptop style electronics would be the way to go i'd think.
picking up your own guitar, plugging into your soundcard, and making an mp3 to share is your legal right in most any jurisdiction i can think of....for the moment at least.
when someone is saying they have the right to share "their own mp3s" they are probably not talking about their own rips of commercial CDs. but rather something they *produced* themselves. (movies too)
it is obscuring the issue (as the *IAA wishes to do) to make general statements about "sharing whatever is illegal."
also, the Internet is a big place (read: outside the USA), and until we finally "fall into line" with the big bad USA on legal matters, it is Currently legal in Canada to share any ripped mp3 files, its only illegal to take them. (ie: burden on the taker, not the takee. as it should be with any
'theft' concepts.)

of course they can.
what you are thinking is DNS servers/hosts.
godaddy supplies my IP address, dyndns supplies my name resolution.

it's not "available" if you are considered tainted after viewing it and no

well, how about "Europe governments, you won't buy microsoft products or
continue to use microsoft formats."
or how about "Microsoft Products are subject to extra luxury VAT of 50%."
or how about "Lower levels of government are prohibited to spend
their transfer moneys on 'foreign software'."

probably because dogs wont bite you.
backups should be done on a scheduled basis by users *anyway*.
lightening, floods and petty machinery theft could strike, not just viruses.
so, i'd consider your collegues advice to be "redundant."
Costco Canada has done the at-register rebate for me
for a spindle of 100 dvd-r blanks.
i've not seen at-register rebates at any other retailer in my
